Description
In the quaint little village of Cromwell, in the heart of Nottinghamshire nestles our modest brewery. Run by husband and wife duo, Ken and Fran Munro, true connoisseurs in craft ale with a motto for quality over quantity, we brew the finest, most flavoursome ales every time. We keep our base recipe simple using the four traditional ingredients hops, malt, wheat and water and have won numerous awards since opening our doors in 2004.

We supply cask and bottled beers to pubs, farm shops and breweries up and down the country. Brewing 5 days a week, we have a varied selection of ales, whether it’s a blonde you prefer, citrussy pale ales, red or amber bitters right through to porters and stouts we have something for everyone.

Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a cloudy apricot with a small almost white head and good lacing. There’s malts and tropical fruits in the aroma. In the mouth it is slightly sweet and juicy with flavours of tropical fruits, floral hops, citrus and melon. Hints of apricot and kiwi as well, leading to bitter and slightly sticky finish. It’s reasonable I suppose.

Cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours a dark chocolate with a small off-white head and good lacing. Malts to the fore in the aroma plus hints of caramel In the mouth it is sweet and fruity but with some underlying bitterness. Hints of autumn fruits from the start, and laters some traditional hops, toffee and treacle too leading to a slightly bitter finish. It’s entirely reasonable though a little unusual – more like a hoppy mild than a bitter ?
